Sanselan is a Pure-Java library reads & writes a variety of image formats, including fast parsing of image metadata (size, color space, icc profile, etc.).

This library is pure Java. It's slow, consequently, but perfectly portable. It's easier to use than ImageIO/JAI/Toolkit (Sun/Java's image support), supports more formats (and supports them more correctly). It also provides easy access to metadata.

Although not yet version 1.0, sanselan is working and is use by a number of projects in production.

It is Open Source; free as in freedom and free as in beer.

Requirements:
Java 1.4 or higher. It could easily be converted to require only 1.2.
It does not use ImageIO/AWT.
